Environment : EMC CX700 + linux AS3 U6 + Veritas4.0 MP2
Problem: Can't init external disks by Veritas, even though those can be used
(mount and write) on OS level.

I tried empty dos partition as attached, but still failed.
Also tried "create a new empty Sun disklabel", but no confident about the
detail queries (Heads/Sectors/Cylinders/Alternate Cylinders/RPM), and vxdisksetup
result was no such device...

Interesting is depends on the format way, vxdisksetup replys different error
message. Could someone help this ?

Thanks and Regards/Yoshi

======= fdisk log =======
[root@XXXXX01 root]# fdisk /dev/sdc

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1174.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
